Join us for an evensong and performance of Maurice Duruflé’s powerful Requiem on Sunday, February 19 at 4:00 pm. Filled with lush harmonies and the free flowing melodies of chant make this arguably the finest setting of the requiem of the 20th century. The Requiem will be a fitting “lead in” to Lent, which begins the next week. The Evensong will include The Collegium Regal service (Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis) by Herbert Howells and C. V. Stanford’s rousing Psalm 150. Invite a friend!
